... View MoreDil Dosti Etc made under the banner of Prakash Jha explores vice and virtues of youthful life as it rightly proclaims, "when you are young, the possibilities are endless''. The movie has Shreyas Talpade(Sanjay Mishra) and Imaad Shah(Apoorv) in the male leads supported by Smriti Mishra (a prostitute in the movie), Ishitta Sharma(school girl, Kintu) and Nikita Anand (a rich model Prerna). The movie rests against a facetious bet between Apoorv and Snjay that former would manage to have sex with three girls in a day and the latter would win the college election. Shot extremely in the north campus of Delhi University, the movie touches the social and cultural issues which we face in recent times, like:-1. Difference of thinking between people of different strata of society (Sanjay vs Prerna)- A girl's preference to career rather than settling down. 2. Goals of life of people from different backgrounds. (Sanjay vs Apoorv)- Shreyas(from rural area in Bihar) is focused and want to win the college's president election while apoorv (cosmopilton guy) whiles his time in college trying to find the meaning of life.3. Viewing the girls mainly as a Sex Object- Apoorv's incessant in bedding every beautiful he see.Barring a few cons of the movie like lackadaisical performance of Imaad, forced bihari accent of Shreyas and poor editing, the movie is a decent watch. Thanks to its shocking treatment of its climax, which may raise many eyebrows, the movie may not be a disappointing watch!!
... View MoreDil, Dosti Etc...the story involves little dil, some dosti and lot of etc!! The film focuses mainly on a college campus in Delhi, and the lives of our protagonists: Apurv, a rich "dude", smooth talker,charmer, and a happy-go-lucky guy who thinks LOVE is nothing but a 4 lettered word; Sanjay Mishra, an ambitious and budding politician,going to any extent for his dreams, possessive about his love and his beliefs in true love and dedication; Prerna, a filthy rich aspiring super model, who doesn't know why exactly she is in love with Sanjay!Kintu, a 16 year old school girl, who loves to go out with guys, but is apprehensive about a hug, kiss, or much more! Vaishali, a sharp spoken prostitute, afraid of falling in love! The film basically showcases the life of Apurv, his search for love, his quest for 3 women to fulfill the challenge put forward by his friend; Sanjay's struggle to win the college elections and keep his girlfriend the way he wants her to be; Prerna's struggle to get into modeling, and understanding Sanjay's point of view; Kintu's journey from a naive school girl to a mature woman; Vaishali's turmoil of falling in love without meaning to.All in all, a decent film, that paints a good picture of the current situation! Performance wise Shreyas Talpade excels, Imaad Shah is OK but lacks in dialog delivery, Smriti Mishra is good, Nikita Anand and Ishita Sharma support ably. The other supporting cast is also good and well suited.In conclusion, I would say that the movie is good, but could have been better!
... View MoreThis is a great film i saw on DVD. Most original story of our country.But the best things director gets it right is of side characters casting there is that fat school teacher which is a classic. There is mom of school girl and the a working class guy who says i use it only to p*** now when prostitute asks him to come with him. There are friends of Shreyas blind guy, American dude, limping guy, guys from Bihar living out i just know them all. Simply great casting. Gresat story and lines.The only (and only thing) I did not like was movie was too short I wanted to see more of each of this side characters Next promise to see his film first day first show.
... View MoreThe movie is well knit up to some extent and portrays the real life a student lives in modern Indian culture.The best thing I liked about the movie is the end and the conclusions driven.If you look into the acting perspective, Imam shah who is the son of naserrudin shah and ratna pathak shah has done a very good job and he really suites the character in the movie.Shreyas talpade, is an awesome actor, no doubt about it. The new comer girls have done a good job up to some extent since they did not have a wholesome role in the movie but they supported the movie and it would not have been as good as it is with them.Nikita Anand, Miss India Universe 2003 I think is casted in a bollywood movie for the first time ...also provides an added feature of the real life situation and overall everybody fit into their characters.But finally I would like to tell you that Imam Shah has enough potential as his father has....and would succeed in winning the audience .....may be not in this movie but his movies to come.The only negative point about this movie would be the this is not a family movie or a movie that can be watched by an age group older than 30 but certainly the young chaps of India....especially the college students will like this movie and appreciate it. There is some vulgar language in the movie(not much a few) but i think that was needed because that would only portray the trueness of the young Indian society.Overall something to learn from this movie. So watch once so that you wont regret .....:)
